How do you make a solar powered car?

Materials:

* Solar panel

* Battery

* Motor

* Wheels

* Frame

* Wiring

* Tools

Instructions:

1. Attach the solar panel to the frame. The solar panel should be facing up so that it can absorb as much sunlight as possible.

2. Connect the solar panel to the battery. The positive terminal of the solar panel should be connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the negative terminal of the solar panel should be connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

3. Connect the battery to the motor. The positive terminal of the battery should be connected to the positive terminal of the motor, and the negative terminal of the battery should be connected to the negative terminal of the motor.

4. Connect the wheels to the motor. The wheels should be attached to the motor so that they turn when the motor is running.

5. Test the car. Once the car is assembled, you can test it by placing it in a sunny spot and seeing if it moves.

Tips:

* You can use any type of solar panel for your car, but a monocrystalline solar panel is the most efficient.

* The size of the battery will depend on how long you want the car to run.

* The motor should be powerful enough to move the car.

* The wheels should be large enough to provide good traction.

* You may need to adjust the wiring to get the car to run properly.

Solar powered cars are a great way to learn about renewable energy and how to build things. They are also a lot of fun to drive!
